Surely you want the feedback before you pulled the trigger! No direct feedback but generally I'm a big fan of Ryobi kit. I've got a lot of it. I had the original jigsaw (battery) which wasn't brilliant but that's been replaced. So hopefully you'll be ok Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a real shame, hopefully it's just stuck in the postal system and will arrive soon. I did enjoy SS last year and would have done it again but I finished with my previous company in Oct so I'm watching the pennies until I get a new role Damo if nothing turns up let me know and I'll...

I did try burning my shavings etc but found them too dense so that there wasn't enough air to get in so I'd be interested to know how putting them in boxes work. My waste is either dust from the machines or shavings from the lathe so all pretty fine not like big long shavings from a plane...

We bought one of these to see what was on over Christmas. Radio times was £4! We bought some TV choice thing for £1 for two weeks of listings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've wondered if it would be possible to make some fire lighters with saw dust / savings. I have loads of saw dust and shavings and even wondered if I could make "bricks" that would burn. I know you can get things for making bricks out of paper. I think that shavings etc could be compressed but...

I need a Merry Christmas to you all. Thanks to everyone who has contributed here and helped me in one way or another. I didn't do secret Santa this year mainly due to me having no job so couldn't justify it but I look forward to seeing what everyone got tomorrow. Hope you all have an...

Can I add to Carpets to the list. Oh how I hate trying to work out what is good quality and will feel nice and no go flat in a few weeks. I tend to buy a lot from John Lewis as I think they are great and know their stuff. Not so easy for buying tools and wood. Sent from my iPhone using...

A lot of saw dust? :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's interesting to know especially given the gbp to euro rate at the moment. It would be interesting to know what the likes of Festool are as it might be worth a trip to buy a few tools. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got back from seeing it and very much enjoyed it. It did feel a lot like an updated New Hope though and a lot of similar story lines to previous films, but that's not a terrible thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do agree that males and females communicate differently but then there is often an age issue as well. My Mum is in her late 60's and honestly I loose track of what she is saying. She could be trying to say "I went into the theatre box office and bought the tickets" but honestly that would take...

I don't know why sharpening appears to be such a controversial subject. Thanks for all the replies. I think it's helped. I think I will probably take custard up on his very kind offer. Yandles is probably a 2 hour drive away so not that close, so I probably won't go and see them. I thought...

Anyone know if there are any good Pen Jaws for an Axminster chuck? I saw the record jaws and thought they looked excellent but then found out that they won't fit my chuck. Grrrrrr I've looked on the Axminster site and can't find any pen jaws, anyone have any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone...

Well the turning tool jig for the Scheppach costs £45 and for the Tormek £68. That's on the D&M site. I'm sure I might be able to find better prices for both but it's probably reasonably indicative. I'm more of a Skoda guy than an Audi guy - I'm not bothered about paying for names but I do...

Well I was in the area of John Davis wood turning so I popped in and spent a very pleasurable 45 mins or so browsing and purchased a few pen blanks while I was there. I also had a bit of a chat (with what I assumed to be John) and found him very friendly and knowledgable. I'd certainly recommend...

One of the Scheppach ones can be bought for around £100. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I'm not sure I'm much clearer as to the path to take except to say that these options all seem to give me repeatable results with straightforward use. I'd still be keen to know what people think of the Triton or Scheppach options? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I might give it a spray of laquer. To be honest it's going to be more decorative than used as the teapot is for a 60th anniversary present. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok well here's what I ended up doing. Sanded to 600 grit Sanding sealer The friction polish Two loads of sealer and polish. With a gentle 600 grit sand in between. I did post the photo elsewhere but here it is:

Thanks guys, used a scraper very carefully as suggest. Very happy with the results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
